Sorry to hear your trip on the Ranger 85 was cancelled, that's a top-notch boat and Captain Frank Ursitti fishes really, really hard.

BigBass - I'm not knocking the boat in anyway. In fact, the reason i chose that boat was because my buddy said the exact same thing you just did. I'm just pissing and moaning because i wanted to go fishing and didn't get to go. Understandibly.
Kevin: Totally understand your disappointment. Actually, I've been on several 2 day trips on the Ranger 85 in the last few years and they have always been amazing, plugging the boat with big rockfish, lings, etc. However, I was really looking forward to going on a 2 day last fall (November) and, unfortunately, I got a call that it was being cancelled the day before. Anyhow, the Ranger 85 usually does a handful of 2 day trips in April and May before they head down to San Diego for their summer 1 1/2 day tuna trips. If you get a chance to jump on one you won't regret it and I might see you onboard - you'll also fill your freezer.
Kevin and Joe,
If you guys have issues with each other, please address them through PM's and off the board.
My "issue" isn't with Kevin. I've been done with him 8-months ago when I never got a "how are you" text or call. I feel sorry for his beautiful innocent children that their dad is a jacka-s.
As a long time member of FNN, I thought you should know that one of its members is suffering. I thought you should also know that some of your members swept me under the rug when they found out I was sick.
I was doing you and fellow FNN members a favor.
Oh and by the way Arthur, thank you for the well wishes.
You'll probably be tempted to or will terminate my account.
So I'll get my last words in now.
Thank you all for all the years of fish porn and fish tales.
I'm glad that you enjoyed reading my reports when I was actively posting them.
It was always nice to see fellow FNNers on trips, people recognizing "Funjunkie" and the NBU.
I couldn't do much fishing in 2010 and 2011 isn't looking much bright yet.
But if I'm really lucky, I look forward to seeing on your next trip.
Tight lines and cast one out for me.
- Joe "Funjunkie"
Joe, I sympathize with your situation and I can't even imagine the hardship that you've been going through. It's understandable why you are lashing out. But I don't think it serves a purpose or believe that it makes you feel better to chastise people who you say swept you under the rug. Don't waste your time on them because they're not important. Focus your energy on those who have stuck with you and stood by your side throughout your ordeal. Your family and true friends, they deserve the remainder of your attention and nobody else. We are all guilty of hoping that situations like yours happen to somebody else, to some other family, but sometimes they do hit home. I was reminded of how fragile life can be with the passing of 57.
You will be in my prayers tonight and thank you for the years of entertaining reports. I will remember them, and you...
When the time come, that you go to sleep with Angels... You shall live in the hearts of those who loved you and will thus never really die or be forgotten.
Arthur
